Three Ways To Grow Your List

The simple, unadorned truth is: the bigger your email subscriber list, the more money you will make from your online business.

Here are three ways to grow your list:

  1. Pay per click advertising: Take out a Google Adwords ad that leads subscribers to a landing page. On that landing page, offer visitors something of value in exchange for their name and email address. The trick is, this is harder to do that it once was, for a variety of reasons. The biggest key: make the “something of value” a TRUE value. Just putting up a page that says “sign up for my newsletter” will not produce many subscribers.
  2. E-zine ads. Buy ads in e-zines that are mailed to people who are likely to be interested in your offer. Test the results carefully; while this method can bring you subscribers, it can also be a quick way to lose money.
  3. Do “swaps” with other e-zine owners. You run their ad in your ezine, and vice versa. Often you can do this at no cost, and gain subscribers in the bargain.
